"PROSPECT OF BETTER TIMES.
In a communication on (thu) situation of the German shipping industry In the Wirkschafts sind Baportzeitung, Dr. Stimming, managing director of the Nort deutscher Lloyd, says: "It is my opinion that German mercantile shipping has now got over tha erisks of, its regeneration process, and I base that view on the-for- lowing, considerations.-The sma:] German merchant Beet, so far as its quality is concerned, holds the first place among the merchan fleets of the world. The conversion to a gold basis has given the German navigation: concerns the new financial: foundation which they required. Enorgetic economies in the ad- ministrative system of companies and the reduction of working x- penses to the utmost possible ex- tent must receive all attention. In jspite of the wage, disputes which took place towards the end of last year, I have a feeling that the employees in the shipping trade are rapidly coming to the conclusion. that any further demands can only lead to the ruin of enterprise. The two main pillars of the German shipping business, namicly, thorough expert knowledge and complete organisation, still re- main unshaken. 3.
